SAFETY
Any power equipment can cause injury if operated improperly or if the user does not understand how to operate the equipment.
Exercise caution at all times, when using power equipment.
6. Vehicle braking and stability may be affected with
the attachment of this sweeper. Do not fill sweeper
to maximum capacity without checking the capability
of the towing vehicle to safely pull and stop with the
sweeper attached. Stay off of steep slopes.
7. Stop and inspect vehicle and sweeper for damage
after striking an object. Repair any damage before
continuing operation.
8. Keep sweeper away from fire. Excessive heat can
damage the brushes and hopper bag and could cause
the bag and its contents to burn.
9. Before storing the sweeper, always empty the hopper
bag to avoid spontaneous combustion.
10.Follow maintenance and lubrication instructions as
outlined in the maintenance section of this manual.
1. Read the vehicle and sweeper owners manuals and
know how to operate your vehicle and sweeper before
using this sweeper attachment. Always instruct other
users before they operate the sweeper.
2. Do not permit children to operate sweeper.
3. Do not permit anyone to ride on sweeper.
4. Never attach the hopper rope to any part of your body
or clothing! Never hold onto the rope while towing the
sweeper! Attach the rope to the towing vehicle to keep
it away from wheels and rotating parts.
5. Operate the sweeper at reduced speed on rough
terrain, near ditches and on hillsides to prevent loss of
control.
Look for this symbol to point out important safety precautions. It means — Attention!!
Become alert!! Your safety is involved.
The model and serial numbers will be found on a decal
attached to the lawnsweeper.
You should record both the serial number and the date of
purchase and keep in a safe place for future reference.

ASSEMBLY
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY
STEP 3 - ATTACH R.H. BRUSH ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT: The overlap bristles at the bottom of each
brush help support the back side of the brush for better
sweeper performance. Be sure the sweeper is turned as
shown in figure 2 to correctly assemble the brushes.
(1)Hammer
(2)1/2" Wrenches
(2) 7/16" Wrenches
• Attach the brush assembly with the black brush retainer
to the right end of the brush shaft using two hex bolts
(D) and nylock nuts (H). The brush retainer marked with
black ink must be placed to the middle of the sweeper.
See figure 2.
STEP 1 - REMOVE PARTS FROM CARTON
• To protect painted parts, lay them on cardboard or a
mat.
• Remove the sweeper housing, the loose parts and the
hardware package from the carton. Lay out the parts
and hardware as shown on pages 3 and 4.
• Place the sheet of cardboard from inside the carton onto
your work surface to prevent scratching the sweeper.
NYLOCK NUT (H)
WELDED BRACE
STEP 2 - IDENTIFY BRUSH ASSEMBLIES
HEX BOLT (D)
• Each brush assembly has one brush retainer marked
with either red or black ink. Lay out the brush assemblies
as shown so that the brush retainers marked with ink
are in the middle with the black one on your right and
the red one on your left. See figure 1.

• Turn a wheel to rotate the brushes. (The wheels drive
the brushes in one direction only.) The overlap bristles
should be on the back side of the brush as it rotates.
• Hold the right hitch tube against the right side of the
sweeper so that the "76R" on the tube faces toward
the sweeper. Attach the hitch tube using one hex bolt
(C) and nylock nut (I). Do not tighten yet. See figure 5.

• Place the tractor and sweeper on a flat level surface.
• Set the sweeper height adjustment handle to about the
middle of its adjustment range.
• Attach the sweeper hitch to the tractor hitch, arranging
the 3/4" spacers in one of six possible combinations as
shown in GROUP A and GROUP B diagrams below.
IMPORTANT: To obtain the best performance from your
sweeper, arrange the spacers so that the sweeper bag is
approximately level with the ground and approximately 5"
to 7" off the ground as shown in figure 23.

HOW TO USE YOUR SWEEPER
DUMPING OF SWEEPER
• Your sweeper can be dumped easily without getting
off of the rider or tractor. Simply pull the rope forward
to dump the hopper. Always empty hopper after each
use.
BRUSH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
• To adjust your sweeper brushes to the best operating
height, loosen the adjustment knob and push down
on the height adjustment handle to raise the brush, or
push up on the handle to lower the brush. See figure
19. Best adjustment is when the brush setting is 1/2"
down into the grass. Always mow the grass to an even
height before sweeping.
CAUTION: Never attach the hopper rope
to any part of your body or clothing! Never
hold onto the rope while towing the sweeper!
Attach the rope to the towing vehicle to keep
it away from wheels and rotating parts.
SWEEPING SPEED
• Try a starting speed of approximately 3 m.p.h. (third
gear on most tractors). Depending on the conditions,
it may be necessary to adjust the sweeping speed in
order to achieve best results.
CAUTION: Keep sweeper away from fire.
Excessive heat can damage the brushes and
hopper bag and could cause the bag and its
contents to burn.

CLEANING
• Every two years, remove the wheels and clean the
sprockets, chains and gears found inside the wheel
housing. After cleaning, lubricate with an even coat of
light grease. To remove the wheel, pop off the hub cap
using a screwdriver and remove the lock nut and flat
washer. See figure 25.
• Clean sweeper housing with a soft brush or cloth.
• Clean debris from hopper bag with a brush or broom.
• Remove any material which has wrapped around
brushes or ends of brush shaft.
STORAGE
• Clean the sweeper and hopper bag thoroughly to help
prevent rust and mildew.
• To collapse the hopper bag for storage, remove the two
hopper support rods from the rear of the hopper.
• Store in a dry area.
CAUTION:Before storing the sweeper,
always empty the hopper bag to avoid
spontaneous combustion.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
BRUSH REPLACEMENT
SPROCKET, CHAIN AND PAWL SERVICE
NOTE: Brush replacement should be done one brush at a time.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove both wheels at the same
time to avoid mixing of parts. (The R.H. and L.H. ratchet
sprockets are not interchangeable.) Make notes on the
position of washers and snap rings during disassembly.
• Remove the hopper bag from the sweeper.
• Loosen the hex bolts and lock nuts on two single
brush retainers which clamp one brush to the double
brush retainers. Do Not loosen or remove the bolts
which fasten the double brush retainers to the brush
shaft. See figure 26.
• Slide the brush out of the retainers, noting on which
side of the brush the bristles overlap. See figure 26.
• Install new brush, making sure the bristles overlap on
the same side of the brush as before. See figure 26.
• Remove the dust cover by removing the two rivets
which fasten it to the wheel housing. (It is not
necessary to remove the dust cover if you are only
cleaning and lubricating the chain and sprockets.)
• Remove the retaining rings and washers which hold
the sprockets onto the shafts.
• Remove the chain and both sprockets, holding them in
position and sliding them off both of the shafts. (Look
for the drive pin, which may fall out of the brush shaft
when the ratchet sprocket is removed.) See figure 27.
• To reassemble, insert the drive pin through the hole
at the end of the brush shaft. Make sure the pin slides
back and forth easily in the shaft.
• Lightly grease both shafts and the chain, and fill the
ratchet sprocket with grease. Assemble the chain with
both sprockets back onto the shafts.
• Lightly grease the axle and then reassemble the wheel. The brushes should rotate only during forward rotation
of the wheel. If the brushes are driven (rotated) by both
forward and reverse rotation of the wheel, the drive pin
is jamming in the ratchet gear. Disassemble and clean
and lubricate the drive pin and ratchet gear.
